What Produce Is in Season This February?

Because modern infrastructure allows us to ship food across the world and then store it for a year at a time, the sheer variety of produce in your local Trader Joe's has made it harder to know what's actually in season. So take a good look below at what's available this February, because in-season fruits and vegetables taste better, are better for the environment, and are usually cheaper.

Apples

The peak of domestic apple season is in late summer/early fall, but controlled, cold storage allows for already harvested apples to stay fresh throughout the year (it's very likely your store-bought apple is a year old). Pink Lady, Braeburn, Fuji, and Gala are all good bets for February.

Bananas

Bananas taste better if they ripen after being picked, which means they can be shipped year-round. They're not exactly local, but they're available.
